New Jersey Women's Hall of Fame
The New Jersey Women's Hall of Fame was established in 2011, by the YWCA of Trenton, in Trenton, New Jersey.
Inductions into the hall of fame occur at the Annual Induction Gala, which is held in the Spring.[1] Each inductee receives the Gerber Daisy Award, created in 2011 by Boehm Porcelain, of Trenton, for the hall of fame.[2] The inaugural class was inducted on March 31, 2011.
The YWCA of Trenton—sponsor of the hall—was founded in 1904, to empower women, eliminate racism, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for everyone.[3]
